When I was about your age, in the 1960s, we had a network of GreenLine buses, that went right across London, didn't stop anywhere, had their own green on white roundel bus-stops, were slightly more expensive and more comfortable than ordinary buses. I think they do still exist but there are far fewer routes than there used to be. I would imagine that the Superloop would be some sort of replacement for them. I can let you have a 1960s map of the GreenLine routes if you like. Philip Heselton
@@stevehornsby7727 We were on the 725 from Windsor to Gravesend and also the 718, which was a double-decker, from Windsor to Harlow New Town. I once went on it across London as far as Walthamstow and on the 725 to Bromley where it crossed the route of the 704 Green Line bus to Tunbridge Wells. It was an exciting journey!
@@amskaya I remember the bus to Windsor. There are Green Line buses still about not as many as there used to be. I liked the fact we had green and red buses to choose from
Wow Riku. Take my hat off to you. You are the whole Travel Journalist Package and at such a tender age. The world is your “Oyster” (excuse the bad pun 😂😎). Take a bow 👍
It's great to see new Superloop routes and buses coming in but sad to say goodbye to the routes that are being replaced. I might be going to see the new SL1 route tomorrow, and the new Brent Cross Station opening. Great video, keep doing more, I would just keep on watching them because they're so entertaining. Cheers!
Your maturity, enthusiasm and knowledge so young never fails to impress me! Thank you for visiting my borough of London :) so much new transport developments suddenly in my borough which is lovely :)
Hey Riku I checked your books online and I have to say you are a very talented child. Im also 11 and i used to live near woodford green. Maybe somedway we can meet up?
Geat video - I just subscribed and will have a look at more of your videos. I do hope SL is a success, and that they improve it as well - more bus priority, higher frequency, bigger and better publicity, and bigger bus shelters! It's really great that SL is so well integrated with the radial tube/rail routes it crosses; it should appear on the London tube & rail map, and the interchange points on the individual route maps on vehicles - and I think those interchanges should be emphasised on the SL maps too. It's like one more Overground circle, and gives a whole lot of extra journey possibilities. Looking forward to your next production
Mount vernot hospital to hounslow bus garage I would meet in Southall SL8 runs 282 & 120 runs Monday to Friday only it might be good meet up SL9 in yeading & Northolt station you try it ?
Wow . Perfect! Thank you 🙏🏻 Well done to everyone. I'm so happy to hear and watch this movie. Very useful information. Very nice edition Riku. Great interviews. Hurray! Superloop buses have finally appeared 🙌🏻🫶🏻👏🏻
What about express bus service shepherd's bush garage & goldhawk station to Peckham runs side 94 & 12 i remember 12 use run to shepherd's bush station most people can go Westfield from south london to west london what do you think ?
It need superloop express link Sunbury to white city side of 237 & 235 . Also need Chessington world avengers to Ealing Broadway run side 71 & 65 . Also Wembley stadium to Brentford County Court run side 195 & 92 . Also new superloop express link Harrow weald to Paddington Green run side 182 & 18 . Also Peckham to white city run side 12 & 94 . Slough to Hammersmith runs 81 237 235 & 267 . Express links other route mayor of London can do it furture?
Disappointed that they didn’t use the highest spec of buses seen on the 63,119,185 etc. Seats look like the ordinary seats seen in most normal buses. Plus where is the new ibus screen?
It would be nice have express service meet up Ealing hospital on Uxbridge Road running from Wembley stadium to Brentford County Court runs side 92 & 195 . 2nd express Edgware station to Ealing Broadway Station runs side 297 & 79 it can meet SL8 at Ealing Broadway Station i hope works one what do you think ?
2025 and in its previous X239, I don't see the '239' and connecting 'SL4' from Sydenham - Blackheath Shooters Hill Road, Sun-in-the-Sands via Westwood Hill, Newlands Park, Lennard Road, Kings Hall Road, Bridge Road, Copers Cope Road, Southend Road, Beckenham Hill Road, Bromley Road, Bellingham Road, Hazelbank Road, Verdant Lane, South Circular Road, Burnt Ash Hill, Lee Road, Royal Parade, Prince of Wales Road and Shooters Hill Road.

I remember the green line bus. Heathrow airport to Dartford if I remember correctly.

Also the 441 to Old Windsor. I have photos of some I took years ago
That would be one of the London Country buses, which were also green. I used to get a day rover on them for 6 shillings! @@stevehornsby7727
"You're the famous one" XD
So much talent in such a young person. It's good to see them grow in experience
Thanks, I appreciate it 😀
Spot on. They are so impressive!

5:01 I have this bag and bottle as my mum was in the superloop advertisement. Nice video sorry I’m late
It is such a better opportunity as this is an express service. My favourite one is the SL2.
It's great to see new Superloop routes and buses coming in but sad to say goodbye to the routes that are being replaced.
I might be going to see the new SL1 route tomorrow, and the new Brent Cross Station opening.
Great video, keep doing more, I would just keep on watching them because they're so entertaining. Cheers!
I hope you enjoy going to ride on the SL1, and I'll hopefully see you at Brent Cross west on Sunday :)
thanks!

Nice
Wayyyyyyyyyy! Welcome aboard Riku! SL10 is quite short to be honest
Have you had a chance to take a ride? It's a very pleasant journey :)
@@rikufryderyk I’ve ridden quite a few actually! SL7 (X26),SL6 (X68),SL9 (X140) and the new SL10 (X183)
SL7 is the best as it has Gemini 2 B9TL and B7TL
Reminds me of Geoff Marshall type of Video
This bus used to be on Arriva's on 78 until it pass to go ahead

perhaps that's a topic you could raise with your local council? They could put such an idea forward to transport for London to consider.
I agree with the Sunbury - White City, Chessington - Ealing Broadway, and Slough - Hammersmith
Love the idea!
Superb video! How did Transport for London manage to contact you?
the seating pattern is the RATP DEV standard
Disappointed that they didn’t use the highest spec of buses seen on the 63,119,185 etc. Seats look like the ordinary seats seen in most normal buses. Plus where is the new ibus screen?
Ah yes, it is a bit of a shame, but the route still does use a very good model.
@@rikufryderyk yh your right about that one but also forgot to say nice video

Your were on denzals channel that's why I know you
Bro is more mature than me
Riku do you know why the lights in the bus were flashing on and off?
I was also wondering…
I thought the same thing when I came onto the bus... I have no idea to be honest.
Riku was that the actull Mayor you met?
yes
@@rikufryderykYour so lucky to get invited to see the real Mayor 😃
